4-6. Publishing and implementation.Once the FEF is produced, the doctrine publication is ready for publishing and dissemination. (a) Publishing. (1) For doctrine publications, the proponent electronically submits the FEF in PDF (serves as a visual layout document) and Microsoft Word files, the consolidated adjudication comment matrix, release to publish copyright materials (if applicable), the initial distribution of printed copies (if applicable; see paragraph 4-6a[2]), a special initial distribution list of printed copies (if applicable), DD Form 67 (if applicable), and the DA Form 260 (an electronic version of the DA Form 260 is available at APD) to usarmy.leavenworth.mccoe.mbx.cadd-org-mailbox@mail.mil for signature. See figure 4-5 for DA Form 260 signature requirements. Director, CADD, USACAC is the only signature authority for DA Form 260 for TRADOC-developed doctrine publications. Director, CADD, USACAC e mails the signed DA Form 260 to proponents. Proponents then forward the signed DA Form 260—with both FEFs, initial distribution list, and copyright materials—through Commander, USATSC, Building 3306, Room 6, Wilson Avenue, Fort Eustis, VA 23604-5166 via e-mail atsc.adtlp@conus.army.mil to APD. Proponents will create an AKO files site for sharing publication files too large to be transmitted via e-mail. USATSC performs a final quality assurance check of the DA Form 260, estimates cost and verifies availability of resources if printed copies are required, and forwards the documents to APD. APD authenticates, publishes, and posts publication on AKO. After posting on AKO, APD notifies USATSC for downloading and posting to the RDL. If printed copies are required, APD contracts the order and provides a copy of the print order to USATSC for resourcing verification. Once APD receives the printed copies, APD distributes them in accordance with the initial print request and stores the balance at the distribution warehouse in Saint Louis, Missouri. APD will not expedite authentication of the FEF without a general officer or civilian equivalent signature on the DA Form 260. Even expedited, APD still will require a minimum of 30 working days to publish a manual and place a copy on the APD repository.

(For all other publications, indicate Web in block 11c of DA Form 260.) For existing publications, proponents will update and submit the 12-series account list obtained from APD. For new publications, proponents will develop an initial distribution list. Proponents should keep print requirements to a minimum. In determining initial print requirements—proponents consider the target audience’s echelon, mission, capability, and access to electronic media. (3) TRADOC policy is to limit print distribution to the minimum required. All doctrine publications are uploaded on the AKO (APD repository) and RDL, and placed on the doctrine DVD packet (developed and distributed annually by USATSC). (4) Proponents are required to develop or update initial distribution lists for each doctrine publication projected for publishing during a fiscal year (FY) and provide that list along with the DA Form 260 (or indicate the publication will be electronic means only). For print requirements, proponents perform this for active Army organizations only. The Army National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve request their own distributions and pay from separate funds. Upon request from the proponents, USATSC may obtain old initial distribution lists (relating to the doctrine publication) or complete Army mailing lists (units with 12-series accounts) from APD. USATSC provides these lists to proponents for review and updates upon request. (5) In determining the initial distribution scheme, proponents make judgments, based on the echelon of the organization, its mission, and user accessibility by other means (such as 12 series accounts, AKO, or DVD). Proponents consider the availability of adequate automation capabilities at lower echelons, leadership guidance, the annual doctrine DVD distribution, and the capability of Soldiers to access the RDL and AKO. Normally, lower-echelon organizations have limited automation capabilities and may require more hard copies than higher-level organizations. (6) Publications that require printing are prioritized and printed within available resources. New or revised publications have priority over reprints. The Army doctrine and training publication print funds are managed by USATSC. (7) USATSC should consider the following print prioritization guidelines, if no other fiscal year priorities are provided, to manage their limited print budget: (a) Platoon, company, troop, or battery operations (and selected reference publications). (b) Battalion or squadron operations. (c) Brigade or regiment combined arms operations. (d) Division or corps operations. (e) General operations. (f) General references. b. Implementation. Once a doctrine publication is published, the proponent will monitor to see if the doctrine is being implemented in unit training and operations and incorporated in institutional training and education. (1) This phase of the process begins when the target audience starts applying doctrine. (2) Proponent training developers continue to integrate the new or revised doctrine into institutional training plans, training publications, and evaluation criteria (for example, programs of instruction, course materials, Soldier training publications, and Digital Training Management System). (3) Commanders incorporate the new or revised doctrine into their training programs and standard operating procedures and apply it during exercises and operations. (4) Commands, combat training centers, Center for Army Lessons Learned, and other agencies provide feedback on the doctrine publication’s relevance and recommendations for improvements.
